A king vs Tai Lung
[Tai Lung's POV]
"I am Tai Lung."
For a short moment after I said my name, all sound ceased to exist as the world acknowlegde me. Then the mammoth infront of me crossed his arm and borke the prevailing silence with an introduction of his own.
A name was finally attached to the mammoth infront of me.
"I am the king of the northern region of the great Gupta Empire." He said, "Second to only the Emperor himself and the greatest shield of the endless subcontinent."
"My name, is Samudragupta."
I was initially caught off guard by his name since I recognized it from my past life. But the difference between Samudragupa from that world and this world was starly different.
"A king?" I asked, "So what is a king doing in a battlefield, are you sure you can even fight?"
"Unlike you backward Empires, we don't let the weak rule us and being a king requires more than blood relations." He said.
It was a logical concept for a world like mine where the law of the jungle prevails. The storng ruled over the weak.
"Even so, you might die."
"How is a king supposed to protect his subjects when he can't even protect himself? If I die so be it." He replied and then finally unfloded his arm.
He bent his knee down slighlty, his posture now ready to explode with unfathomable strength.
"I won't die to the likes of you though." He said.
Hah, thats funny.
Everyone dies from the likes of me.
A behmoth like him whose main stregth lies in thier impenetrable defence and overwhelming power were not exacly rare in this world. Master Wubao, Master Rhino and even the turtle monk were some of the peopel that immediealy came to my mind.
He was nothing new.
So I used flashsteps to close the distance between us in an insant. With the advatage I had over virtually any oppoent with my sheer speed, I might as well have the ability to manipulate space.
The way his eyes widened ever so slighly and how his whole body tensed - beacuase it knew it could not react to what was coming next - told me that he had never seen a speed quite like mine before.
And this was not the fastest I could go.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
I stopped right before him in the air. My face was mere inches away from his and I stared direclty into his eyes. But before he could react, I was already behind him.
I ran circles around him and this time, I used everything I had on the attack.
"Internal destruction." I muttered and gritted my teeth before landing a devastating punch right at his stomach.
The pucnh was so hard that even though it was meant to only attack the inside, the force escaped and rang out in the surroudning. Samudragupta's body acted like a bell as its body expanded and tensed for a moment.
*BOOOOM!!!*
He paused and then he coughed out blood.
It worked, but not to a significat extent.
Samudragupta grabbed my hand and he looked down at me with bloodshot eyes.
Then for the first time in our fight, I felt his chi. But it was not how masters normally used thier chi. His essence molded with his body in perfect sync and he gained an impossible strength.
Then he delviered a devastating kick rigth at my belly which shook my entrie world. I felt his chi explode at the point of impact nd multiply the force.
My body foleded and two consecutive shockwave erupted on my stomcah. Then I was sent flying away again. But this time, I reacted quickly and spun around before sliding to a stop.
I spit out blood and quickly healed myself.
"Okay, no more playing around." I said and pushed out my calws and slwoly traced the ground as sparks crackled out.
Then it happened again.
Samudraggupta was enveloped in a orage aura. It was his chi but he used it in a way that I have never seen before. It was almost ike an enhancement but his body and chi flowed too smoothly to be called just an enhancement.
He looked like a saiyan.
I suppose they have thier own unique technique as well. I really wanted to understand.
But I had to shelve that though as he shot at me, his body buldozing through any onbstacle that stood his way. He looked like a meteroite.
I pushed myself off the ground and blitz towards him at an even faster speed as our fight elevated to the next level.
